THE SOCIALISTIC CONGRESS.

The last day of the congress at
Buffalo was busy one, lasting from
s o'clock in the morning till 8
o'clock in the evening, with a short
recess for dinner.
A change in the platform, recon-
mended by the platform committee,
was debated, and finally adopted, to
replace the paragraphs of nearly the
same tenor:
"This system carries within itself the
germs of a new organization of humani
ty in the modern industrial States
"Through the evolution of this system
to the last stage, the proletarianized
masses of workers will finally have op-
posed to them comparatively few indus
trial despots, and by reason of the UNI
bearable uncertainty of living condi-
tions the former will find themselves
compelled to abolish the wage system,
and establish the cooperative society.
"The basis of cooperative society
stipulates the substitution of public
ownership for private ownership of land,
instruments of labor machines, facto-
ries, etc., and with it co operative pro-
duction and guarantee of share in the
product in accordance with the service
rendered by the individual to society.
"The Socialistic Labor Party bases its
name as Labor Party upon the &C
acknowledgement of the oppression of the
class of wage workers by the class of
capitalists.
A further change recommended by
the committee was placed under the
head of Social Political Demands,
and reads as follows:
1--WE consider it the highest duty of
the Government and Legislatures to as
sist in the changing of the present eco
nomical conditions into a cooperative
society, by proper legislation, in order
to avoid conflict between the posses
sors and the nom n-possessors.
But few changes were made in the
platform, the above being the most
important. The clause regarding
"Uniform Marriage Laws" etc., was
transferred to more appropriate po-
sition among the demands.
A resolution against the execution
of the Chicago anarchists" was
adopted as follows:
"The Congress of the Socialistic Labor
Party assembled at Buffalo, although
neither agreeing with the tactics nor
with the principles of the anarchists,
nevertheless declares the confirmation of
the judgment against the eight Chicago
anarchists to be unjust, to be dictated
by prejudice and class-hatred, and to be
an act of class justice.
1t was generally admitted that none
of the condemned men threw the bomb,

OUR SPY SYSTEM.
Captain and Mrs. Blacks Experiences
as Its Victims.

The following editorial comments
on certain alleged interviews with
Mrs. Black, the accomplished wife
of the faithful Chicago lawyer, Cap
tain Black, who has been and still is
serving as senior counsel for the con-
demned men in Chicago, appeared
in the Star Of Wednesday.
"Mrs Black is the wife of the lawyer
who has worked so hard to save the
necks of the anarchists. She does not
state what her own programme will be,
if her husbands efforts fail, but il she
receives one tithe of her deserts, she
should at least be tongue-tied for the
rest of her natural life.
"lt is a terrible vengeance that the law
is about to take. The sense of the CON-
munity, though deeply impressed by the
solemnity Of the doom that awaits seven
beings, is thoroughly imbued with the
justice of the sentence. We are in no
mood to listen to the ribald threats and
idle prattle of a foolish woman.
"Flad Mrs. Black particle of that
profound sympathy and compassion
which she processes for the families Of
the condemned, she would find her true
mission in preparing them for the awful
ordeal that awaits them, instead of try
ing to incite them to still wilder and
more horrible acts of revenge"
These bitter words illustrate the
brutality Of the Doodle star quite as
wildly as they serve to expose the
mendacity of the Doodle World.
The latter paper has published what
purported to be two interviews with
Mrs. Black. That these were pre-,
pared for beforehand was made self
evident by the introduction of an al
legged portrait Of Mrs. Black.
The New York Lealer says that
the manner in which the spy system
is being developed here, as illustrat-
ed by the Illinois trials and the chain
Of incidents connected Herewith, is
worthy of the Russian Chancellerie
and its Infamous third section. Cap
tain and Mrs. Black have been, ever
since that brave lawyer took a brief
in behalf Of the men now under SEN
tence of death at Chicago, the vic
tins of system of espionage that is
perfectly Infamous in character.
Their home in Chicago has been in
vaded by Pinkerton 'mouchards. +"
on the street, and in all phases of
social life, they have been dogged
and followed. Since they arrived in
this city until their departure on
Tuesday, they have been subject to
the same outrageous surveillance.
When Captain and Mrs. Black
left Chicago for this city, their
trunks contained many documents
Of value as news and as legal papers.
Among the former were Mrs. Blacks
memoranda. Some of these have
been sketchily published. by the
World. The trunks of the Black
party were opened and overhauled
on the road to this city. Captain
Black and family first stopped at
Hotel Dam. They moved on Sun
day last to Hotel st. Stephen, on
Eleventh street. The trunks, it
was known to the family, had been
examined, as the contents were dis
turbed. Captain Black was scarcely
settled at the st. Stephens before he
encountered, in the hotel vestibule,

mound builders were. They seem to
have inhabited principally what is
now the Mississippi valley, although
there are many mounds in the Ohio
valley also. Some of the mounds
were built for defence, some for graves

Encyclopaedia estimates the age of the

The builders were extinct ages before
